Pat Boone - Jivin' Pat (rec. 1955-59, Bear Family comp. 1986)



Vinyl Spin of the Day.

Pat covers all the good 'uns from "Good Rockin' Tonight" to "Tutti Frutti". Strangest choice: Fats Domino's "The Fat Man".

Yeah. Jethro Tull did it so much better.

There's a fat man in the bathtub, with the blues.

The Happenings - The Happenings (1966)

Vinyl Spin of the Day.

I bought this one at Sears in Santa Monica when it came out.



Every Friday, my mom would take me for their weekly sale on new releases. She would let me pick two albums. When we went up to the cash register, the clerk (who was probably all of 30 years old), looking over my head, said to my mom that this was a "pretty good" record. For my other selection, he just rolled his eyes.

1959 Playlist
Quite the year: "Mack the Knife", "What'd I Say", "Shout", "Take Five", the Ben E. King led Drifters, the Coasters, "See of Love", "Money (That's What I Want)", "El Paso" and perhaps the greatest year in jazz with Kind of Blue, Moanin', Time Out, Ah Um, and Ornette

Not to mention:



But, there's a thread for that.
